Good news and Thank you's

Today marks 25 days since a confirmed Ebola case in Liberia!!  The World Health Organization will consider the outbreak over once 42 days have passed with no new cases!  There is light and the end of this dark tunnel!  This news brings a renewed sense of hope to YFC Liberia and to the team here at YFC Quinte.  Even with this news there are so many still in need.

News From Augustine (YFC Liberia)
Augustine sent me a message this week about a group of children he came across.  These children were catching grasshoppers and when Augustine stopped to ask then why, they replied "for food".  The children asked Augustine for money to by oil to cook the grasshoppers in.  This is the plight of many children in Liberia.  Please pray for the children of Liberia.
  They are so beautiful.  These are the children with their grasshoppers.

Thanks to the efforts of those that collected toonies and bought hot chocolate this past month.  We were able to send over $1000 to YFC Liberia!  This money will be used to help the child victims of Ebola!  Thank you again, and if anyone is interested in donating to Ebola relief please contact myself at 613-919-1699 or dontanialiberia@gmail.com or comment to this post.  Funds may also be dropped of the YFC Quinte.
